*According to complementary fiction released in the ''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'', the Covenant had discovered [[Shield World 0459]] prior to the events of ''Halo Wars''.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]''', ''pages 50-51''</ref> The ''Halo Waypoint'' video series ''"The Halo Wars Story Retold"'' instead claims that the Covenant discovered the shield world from data gathered at the [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|Forerunner ruins on Arcadia]]. The version given in the game guide (ostensibly written by the game's writers as background fiction to flesh out the characters) is seemingly supported by the in-game story: the first scene showing the Covenant on the shield world does not give any indication that the shield world is a recent discovery, only serving as the backdrop for the Prophet of Regret and the Arbiter's conversation about the events on Harvest and Arcadia.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]'' (opening cinematic, ''"Walk in the Park"'')</ref>

*In the second [[Data Drop]], [[Michael Stanforth|Vice Admiral Stanforth]] states that several cities on [[Sigma Octanus IV]] ([[Caracas]], [[Huiren]], [[Côte d'Azur]], [[Silma]] and [[Enfield]]) were destroyed during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV|battle for the planet]]. ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' explicitly states that most of the planet was spared with fighting only in and around Côte d'Azur.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page '' (2001) ''page 243'' (2011)</ref>
